  1. Hmmmmmm....

     

    Myles Jack in 10 games: 16 tackles, no sacks.

    Shaq Lawson in 4 games in which he played limited snaps while getting back into game shape: 6 Tackles, 2 sacks.

     

    Who the heck cares about Myles...hes done nothing despite being healthy, having a whole offseason, and playing on a bad team that desperately needs his impact. Shaq has already outperformed him despite playing limited snaps in only 4 games after missing most the offseason, more than first half of this season so far, and having to get into game shape.

     

    Bills WIN

  2.  

    He gets beat, it genuinely happens to every corner. Gilmore's just a deadly mix of contract year, sullen by nature and unpopular. He's had his bad moments but he's giving up a reception every 12.7 coverage snaps. It's hardly damaging when you consider the big picture. Granted, in the positions he's found himself in, he's not made plays he needs to (especially Week 2) but I don't think he should be getting the level of criticism he is for the play he's produced.

     

    It's like people are just looking to hold onto Week 2 and magnify every reception like others don't get beat. Little perspective doesn't hurt now and then.

     

    While I'm on the subject, I'm not for benching Darby either. He's responsible for 3.875 receptions, 59.25 yards, 0.375 TD, 0.125 INT per game.

     

    I told everyone that would listen that Gilmore was playing the better of the two but Darby just needs a kick in the pants. Hopefully this past week gives him that because the kid can play.

     

    I am not trying to "hold onto week 2"...Gilmore has not gotten the job done when it matters this year, and thats the only thing he has bene consistent of. He has struggled a lot, and I was one of his biggest supporters. So don't lump me in with people who just don't like him, because I was ecstatic when we got rid of Mario because it meant we would have more of a chance to keep Gilmore. I have been a big defender of him in the past and a big fan of him being here to anchor our secondary. Its not my fault he has regressed this year and is struggling a lot more than a guy who is supposed to a top corner in this league.

     

    But I have watched him week in and week out just not do his job. He has had few good moments compared to his struggles or mediocre play. Our secondary have been the worst performing unit on the whole team, and he is a big part of that secondary. He is billed as a top 5 CB coming into this season yet he hasnt played any where near there.

  3.  

    You do understand that him playing off is schematic and not his choice, right? If he was freelancing like that, he'd be the one getting benched.

     

    And his per-game stats equate to 2.89 receptions, 50.5 yards, 0.11 TDs, 0.22 INTs. Not buying your "roasted regularly" stuff.

     

    You clearly dont watch the games because no one watching the games week in and week out would even use the word "solid" on his season.

  4. Mixed reviews on Gilmore this season. He wants to paid elite CB money so this will be good litmus test of how he can cover an elite WR. I think he'll do okay considering he'll have little to no help from our inept safeties.

     

    Meh...I dont care what he does this week, he needs to show it every game the rest of the season to even consider giving him a good contract. One or two games a year doesnt cut it, he been getting roasted regularly and always plays waaaaay off the WR and doesnt close fast enough to make up for it. I was behind resigning him, but he's played his way off this team to date, and now needs to play his way back on IMO, and that will take more than one or two good weeks. He has been healthy, no excuses for him...he's just not been good.

  5. It is not Rex's fault that Gilmore and Darby decided to take turns in getting burned. Neither is playing up to the level they did last year. That is on the player, not the coach. What I will blame Rex on is the permissive atmosphere on the team. Too many selfish penalties and off field issues. Tighten up on that and get them focused on playing winning football. Schwartz is better in getting the guys to play to the max on defense. Reason he was let go was silly....he rubbed people in the organization the wrong way and thought he is head coach material. I see him like Wade Phillips....a great DC who is not very good as a head coach.

     

    This...Schwartz was an utter disaster as HC, far worse than anything Rex has ever been accused of. Is he a great DC, absolutely. Rex has fielded great defenses too in multiple places. It hasnt helped us that we have missed our best DL in Dareus almost all season, lost AW and watched out DB's literally forget how to cover.

     

    If you guys want to pile on anyone, why isnt anyone piling on Ed Reed? I have seen stupid claims to how great he's been, how great he will be as a HC, etc. YET, the ONLY difference...literally the ONLY difference this year in our secondary is Ed Reed is now the DB's coach and its literally the WORST performing unit on the team. What has he changed with them that has seen Gilmore and Darby regress sooooooooo far?

     

    Rex is a better HC than Schwartz was in Detroit. Can Schwartz rebound in a second chance, of course, but lets not sit here and act like he would certainly be a better HC after how bad he was in Detroit.

    Some Bills Execs Want To Dump Marcell Dareus

    http://www.profootballrumors.com/2016/11/bills-frustrated-marcell-dareus

     

    Wouldn't surprise me as rumblings have been coming out over the irritation some have inside about his lack of conditioning during his suspension. I bet guys like Rex still want him, because he's a major talent when on the field and motivated, but I bet the guys having to make other sacrifices in the cap over his salary are pretty sick of all that money he is tying up and how little he is on the field mostly due to self inflicted BS. I am starting to get concerned he could become the next Albert Haynesworth in regards to motivation after he got his big pay day.

     

    Personally, he's too talented to give up on just yet IMO, but I am getting more and more open minded to seeing if we could get a bounty for him in a trade to fill other key spaces, especially since our DL has been good enough without him. If we could get a first and change for him in this next draft, I would be very intrigued if I was Whaley because we need more help in the defensive backfield than upfront and we need more weapons on offense.

  7.  

    Agree on most points in here. Tannyehill is Rob Johnson 2.0 to me (except not as injury prone), I live in Davie and see way too many Dolphin games. Most of my Dolphin friends cant wait for him to be gone. He has the least pocket awareness in the NFL.

     

    Every single Dolphins fan I know doesn't like Tannehill and they hate his contract even more. I know several of them who have literally told me they hope to sign EJ to compete with him next off season...thats how little they think of Tannehill.

  8. I'm going to give you the stat lines for two quarterbacks in the AFC. No names, I'd like you to identify them:

     

    65.3% Completion, 2117 yards, 10 TD 7 INT, 91.3 rating.

    60.4% completion, 1769 yards, 10 TD 3 INT, 87.7 rating.

     

    Name those quarterbacks.

     

     

    Everyone knows who those 2 are...but here is my BIG issue with your post.

     

    I am really, really, really, really tired of people posting ONLY passing stats on Tyrod while COMPLETELY ignoring his ability to run, the damage and scoring he does on the ground, and the dynamic it adds to our offense in both the passing and run game for teams having to defend it.

     

    So no disrespect, but your stat line above to show Tannehill in a better light is utterly pointless. Also, I would bet you BIG MONEY that there is not a GM in the NFL that would take Tannehill and his contract right now over Tyrod and his contract. Miami is stuck with that awful deal, and Tannehill is NO WHERE close to living up to it and I would argue is having a worse season than Taylor when you factor Tyrods ground game in. Tyrod, who has been limited with poor weapons to throw to most the year, injuries to the OL, etc has a very friendly contract that leaves the door open to move on if he can't get the job done.

     

    No offense, but this was an EPIC fail on a comparison post.

  9. I don't know about that..Chiefs and the Bronco's still have two against each other left.

     

    Denver also has Titans, Patriots and Raiders...5 tough games there.

     

    Chiefs outside of the 2 with Broncos have Falcons, Raiders, Titans, Chargers...

     

    Aint over yet guys..these are flawed teams that win only cause the other team makes awful mistakes. Not looking good for others teams for sure...but sure as hell aint done yet either

     

    This ^ but with 2 additional notes, one good, one bad.

     

    Good: We have the 3rd easiest schedule in terms of W/L opponent records remaining in the entire NFL.

     

    Bad: We are not the only team chasing them, so we have to fend off a lot of teams and its going to take at least 10 wins, meaning we have to win out or lose 1 more game at most to have a real shot. That Seattle game was huge loss because it pretty much ensured we have to become the hottest team in the NFL the rest of the year.

     

    What really sucks is that this season feels more like bad luck or timing has stolen it from us. Injuries have been hugely impactful, Roman likely cost us 1, if not 2 wins during the first 2 weeks, and the refs screwed us against Seattle.

     

    Seattle game really shows what this team was capable of...thats the same team that just beat the best team in the AFC in NE and it was at NE. We went into THEIR house, the toughest stadium in the NFL, and nearly shocked the world. But terrible officiating and a terrible injury to Wood with the game on the line did us in.

  10. No I said the Dareus and now Williams injury have hurt us.

     

    Starting Tackles? Glenn missed two games and Sentral was never our starting tackle nor is he any better than Mills.

     

    Shaq and Reggie? Two rookies, two unknowns.

     

    McCoy missed two games. One that really didn't matter because we got destroyed.

     

    Your making excuses and your reaching badly.

     

    Lol, how long does it take to build a good team?

     

    Your right, you can't wave a wand and fill holes. Look at all the holes Rexs defense is creating for this team.

     

    Last year we needed better linebackers and defensive linemen. Now we need safety's and corners.

     

    Does anyone remember how many holes the defense had before Rex got here?

     

    No offense, but you have a real skewed perception of the job Rex is doing.

     

    You dont think losing our top 2 picks was a loss? Shaq is proving his value already in limited reps. Rags was having a great camp. How can you say McCoy not being there didn't matter then follow it up with we got destroyed...whcih is EXACTLY the point, you get destroyed when you dont have your best players, I mean come on.

     

    Glenn missed 2 games...so do those 2 games not count in our record? So because its 2 games, those 2 games dont matter?

     

    You also left off Watkins, so now I know you are crazy if you think him and the OTHER injuries to WR havent hurt us.

     

    The fact you are ONLY willing to acknowledge 2 players, when the others you are ignoring are KEY starters, and some are either our best players or best young players is, for a lack of a better word, absurd. Just because they werent out for the season doesn't mean it didn't impact us in the games they missed, many of which we lost and were mostly winnable despite them being out.

  11. Like I stated in an earlier post the Patriots only had three players that started in all 16 games last year and still went to the AFC Championship. Injuries happen to every team and if Bills fans will look at the offseason many fans were saying the biggest problem with the team was depth at several positions. It's like Bills fans can't stop making excuses for bad coaching year after year. Jauron's teams were also always injured and he got to 7-9 with Edwards and JP at QB.

     

     

    My post was more about what the heck is up with the defense that failed to fully utilize the all pro D-line last year and this year it's making the secondary look inept. These things are easily understandable as last year the defense ran mostly a two-gap defense to stop the run and is the biggest reason for the lack of sacks. Conversely, this year the team is running more of a one-gap scheme that is more of a quick penetrating style like Denver runs and now we see the team leading the league in sacks. Also, the secondary playing poorly at times can be explained as the team is leaving the CB's in man coverage while the safeties cheat up to help stop the run. This leaves the CB's on an island and not many CB's can play man in coverage all game and survive it.

     

    Even if you don't care to believe this is it really doesn't matter as the main point is defense isn't playing anywhere near the level it was playing just two short years ago with mostly the very same players. In actuality that 2014 defense had less talent at the CB position. Now go back to 2014 and look at all the injuries and only 7 starters out of 22 played in all 16 games.

     

     

    Coaching is the problem and most Bills fans can't see that because the last time this team had a head coach and coaching staff that made the playoffs was in 1999!

     

    So that means you think if BB was our coach we would have won the SB by your logic. I mean you are basically saying its coaching, then use the Pats as the example as if the only reason they won it was because of better coaching. So do you honestly believe this team with the exact roster, exact injuries, etc would have not only won the SB last year but would also be wining this division this year?

     

    And what about Dallas last year? They lost 2 key players and barely won any games. What about Balt last year? They lost a couple of key players (even BEFORE Flacco) and barely won any games last year...both were SB and playoff contenders going in. We WON more games then them COMBINED last year and we had a worse injury situation. So to cherry pick a team with arguably the best coach in history, the best QB in history, and the best TE in history...none of which missed any games last year...is bit of a silly comparison.

     

    Which FURTHERS my point...no injury situation is the same and the Pats did NOT lost their very BEST players to injury that make that team win.

  12. Assuming none of this is addresses adequately in FA, here is my list.

     

    Absolute #1 need is WR (hopefully with some size...an open even when not open kind of guy)

    Absolute #2 need, and very close to the top need, is FS.

    Absolute #3 need is CB (I assume we let Gilmore walk based on his season and what he wants...if he stays somehow, then this would SS or another WR)

     

    Remaining needs in no particular order, just BPA from there on out:

    WR

    SS

    DB

    TE

    OL

    KR (save this for late in draft unless one of the people drafted earlier fill this too)

  13. Dareus and Williams are losses. Same with Watkins. But outside of Dareus are they unexpected injuries? Did Whaley/Rex do anything for insurance purposes for these injuries? Nope.

     

     

    As Ive said many times, I find the scheme asinine if it relies on a fragile, one hit away from retirement safety.

     

    Rex needs all stars at every position for his defense to be successful is what you are saying.

     

    Are Darby and Gilmore being put in position to make plays? Leaving them on an island with new safety help is a lot to ask of your corners in today's NFL. Get ready for a corner heavy draft to help Rex finally get to the 2014 Shwartz defense when he arrives.

     

    First of all, you left off our starting offensive tackles, McCoy, Shaq, Ragland, etc...you think those injuries dont matter to this team? If you say yes, you are not being truthful and just trying to support your theory.

     

    You do realize you dont wave a magic wand in the offseason and fill every hole among the starters and also stack the deck with talent behind him them right? Whaley took over a team severely lacking talent all across its roster. He has done a great job of adding a lot of talent to this team. But to expect to upgrade our starters and then stack the depth behind them with quality players to sustain the loss of those starters is completely unrealistic.

     

    Going into the off season, LB and pass rush was a big need, and we used the draft to fill it...and it looks like we did a really good job as Shaq looks like the real deal and Rags was having a great camp before the injury. We dont get to add 20 really good players every year, we can't fill every position. Whaley can't build 2 full rosters in case the starting one gets hurt.

     

    MOST TEAMS dont have many good players behind their starters, because good players usually go on to start for them or someone else. Again, we have done a LOT BETTER than MOST teams who lose the QUALITY and AMOUNT of starters that we have lost...yet, just like last year, Rex has us holding ground for a potential playoff spot still while weathering the storm while most teams barely win any games.

     

    No offense, but you have a very skewed perception of our injury situation and you down play it in almost every thread. You seem to think teams should just magically have #1 WR's sitting there in there 3rd and 4th spots...quality OL sitting there to fill in at a moments notice...good DL and LB's sitting on the bench waiting for someone to get hurt...starting quality safeties sitting on the bench. It just doesnt happen...sure, there are young guys or sleeper guys that emerge every year after injuries, but to expect to have enough to withstand the loss of your best WR's, best RB, best OL, best DT, best S, etc etc is unbelievably unrealistic. But guess what...Whaley has done a great job finding quality guys to fill in off the street, in unhearlded FA signings, mid to low draft picks, after thought veterans, etc. But you can only sustain so many injuries before it becomes unsurmountable.

  14. New England no doubt.

    1. The Jets are a huge question mark too though.

    2. KC has played much better than Car and they can run all over them

    3. Tenn has a very good run game and can tear GB's defense apart not to mention they're not too bad on D especially against the O-Lineless Packers

     

    Ha, which is why my disclaimer was there! But truthfully, I agree with all your points too and I share the exact same thoughts. But there in lies his problem, there isnt a safe team to pick on his list.

     

    But looking back at the list again, not sure how I missed NE. I guess I would take NE...yes Seattle is a tough opponent, but its still the Pats and Seattle had been struggling up until the Bills game on offense badly. And they were barely able to keep up with the Bills offense last week, taking 2 insanely difficult 1 handed TD's by Graham and a screw job by the refs to beat us. The Pats are a lot better than the Bills as proven by their butt whooping we were delivered recently.

  15. I have seen enough where I can support sticking with him for Year 3.... barring the bottom falling out and them finishing 1-6 or something

     

    Yes, agreed...if we go like 1-6 with uninspired football then I think his time will have come. But I really can't see that happening, especially with Sammy (hopefully) coming back, having Shaw back, Dareus back, McCoy healthy, etc over the next couple of weeks.

  16. I know the season isn't over, and of course if the bills make the playoffs Rex will probably stay. And on the other end, if the bills go 4-12 he will be for sure gone, but chances are the bills will go 7-9 roughly. So here are some of my pros and cons if the bills end up finishing with a middle of the pack record

     

    Pros

     

    1. A Lynn/ Tyrod development- I for one am not a Tyrod lover, but i do think he is an average NFL QB who can get better. Since A Lynn came in, the offence has been much better. He makes the o line better, QB better, and WRS better. If Rex is gone, A Lynn surely wouldn;t be back in Buffalo as the new head coach would want to bring his own guy in. Same as Tyrod, as he is owed 27 mil or something next year? There is no guarantee he would be back as well. Keeping Rex means keeping A Lynn and Tyrod, which looks somewhat promising

     

    2. Continuity/improvement- I might get blasted for this one, but even though the bills defence is below average this year, they are better than last year . No A Williams, Ragland, Dareus and Lawson for the most part, and sack totals are way up. The biggest problem is obviously the secondary. Is it Rex's fault that Gilmore and Darby can't cover anyone this year? I would say partially because he does put them on a island a lot, but at the end of the day, those guys need to make way more plays. Rex has shown, if you can give him a good secondary, his defence goes to elite level. In saying that, there still looks to be a lot of confusion out there. That is a huge problem

     

    Cons

     

    1. No Accountability- Pretty obvious that the bills don't have much accountability on the team. Penalties again are ridiculous again. Guys can make stupid plays then will continue to play the rest of the game. I don't think that will ever change for Rex

     

    2. History shows him to be mediocre coach- Since 2011 I believe Rex hasn't had made the playoffs? He is a below .500 coach, and chances are if he's back next year, he will hover around that record again

     

    - My personal opinion, I don't think Rex is a great coach at all and has obvious flaws. In saying that, if the bills finish with a 7-9 or 8-8 record, I would bring him back as long as Tyrod and A Lynn keep showing signs of improvement. I truly believe Rex can fix the defence when he has playmakers and when healthy. We all know the most important thing is to have a franchise QB, so if there is even a chance Tyrod is like that under A Lynn, bring all 3 of them back next year and rip up the AFC

     

    Rex isn't our problem.

     

    1. What do people expect from a team missing most of the top players from this team most of the year? Missing our best DL. Missing our best WR. Missing our best S. Missing our young LBs (Shaq if finally back). Missed our top RB 1 week. Missing several other WR's. And now missing our best OL in Wood, and yes I say the best because he has been the most consistent and his loss was immediately felt against Seattle.

     

    2. You can argue we are missing our DB's because I dont even recognize Gilmore and Darby. And by the way, all these people through the year have kept saying they love Ed Reed, he's a great coach, he is going to be a great HC, etc. Well he is the defensive backs coach, and the defensive backs have been literally, without debate, the worst performing unit on the entire roster this year and have MASSIVELY regressed from last year. The ONLY thing different, is the DB coach and that is Ed Reed. So what on Earth makes people think he is doing a good job and its Rex fault more than his? Rex didn't change the D, just the DB coach.

     

    3. Roman - I can't help but wonder if we get 2 more wins to start the year, at the very least the Balt game, if Lynn had been the OC day 1. The offense is light years better, and even in a game where our DB's made Fitz look like Brady, we still had a chance to win that game. Yes we put up points in that game, but the offense was mostly bad except for a couple long scoring plays.

     

    4. Seattle - Cant deny the Refs stole that game for us. I never complain about losses because of Refs, but we were screwed in that game.

     

    IMO Rex has done a good job this year...people want to hate Rex because of the defensive struggles, but he can't make the plays on the field. Guys like Gilmore, Darby, our Safeties are not doing THEIR jobs. And I think what its been in the past more than anything, is that the rest of the defense has masked their short comings, and now teams have seen the weakness and attack them constantly. I compare it to when Tyson lost to Douglas...once that happened, he was exposed and no one was worried anymore. Gilmore has this myth about him that we was an Elite shut down corner and teams never attacked him like they are this year. Once he got exposed, they have aggressively gone after him. Even Carrol said he was going to attack the weakness of the Bills D, our 2 starting corners...and not only did he say it, he did it, and it worked.

    Every team gets injures we just get bone crushing injuries to our best players.

     

    AWill 3gms

    Cordy 3gms

    Sammy 7gms

    Dareus 8gms

    Woods 1gm

    McCoy 2gms

    Lawson 7gms

    Ragland IR

     

    I challenge anyone to show me a team that's winning with these types of injuries.

     

    This times 1000. The issue on this board, is they dont care about facts. The only fact they care about is 16 years. So logic and reason goes out the window. Teams DO NOT continue to win when they lose that many CRITICAL players to a teams success...they just dont. I dont want to hear this factless, pointless, and irrelevant blanket statement of "all teams have injuries" because not all teams are equal, not all teams lose the same important players, etc.

     

    Dallas and Balt were supposed to be SB and playoff contenders last year...they lost a couple of key people and combined to win LESS games than we did even though we lost MORE key people.

     

    Look at the loss of Wood last week...the offense immediately felt that impact and it dramatically affected us trying to win the game the Refs screwed us on. Its utterly stupid to disregard our injury situation both last year and this year. We aren't losing backups, we are losing our best starters at key positions...and then in some cases losing their backups too.

  17. Green Bay over Tennessee imo.

     

    Good luck!

     

    Green Bay is risky as they have been up and down and Mariota is balling right now with a stud running game behind him. But that being said, there really isnt a slam dunk pick available this week based on who you said is elligible to be chosen.

     

    My top 3 in order would be:

    1. Jets over the Rams: Rams are struggling and Gurley is gimpy too.

    2. Car over KC: Neither team has been very good this year, but KC has a lot of injuries.

    3. GB over Tenn: Likely a high scoring game, you just hope Rodgers scores last.

     

    Disclaimer: I was eliminated from all 3 of my survival pools by week 3, so theres that too hahahaha

  18. Nobody in the NFL suffers from injuries except the Bills. We are the only team that gets hit hard every year.

     

    I hate this weak argument...no offense, but it lacks any thought or intelligence...not saying you lack that, saying this statement does. NO TWO TEAMS injuries are the same. NO teams depth is the same. Super bowl contenders had less injuries than us last year and we won more games then them combined with 8 wins.

     

    So its utterly irrelevant what you just said, has no merit, and factual substance in regard to any team its being applied to. We lost players we CANT AFFORD to lose. We dont have talent behind them. How many games did Dallas win last year when it lost player it couldn't afford to lose? How many games did Baltimore lose last year when it lost players it couldn't afford to lose?

     

    Again, I am not attacking you as a person, I am directly attacking that blanket statement that people here hide behind to deflect factual challenges we have to continue to over come so they can point fingers where they want. And its not my word that matters, the evidence is on the FIELD. Watch the Seattle game...look what happened to our OL when Wood got hurt? The middle became a revolving door and substantially hurt our offense while we were driving to try and win the game. These things MATTER whether you want to acknowledge it or not.

     

    And for the last time, our injuries this year have no connection to 16 years prior...our issues have not always been injuries, but our issue has always been the lack of talent on the field...either because it wasnt on this team in the first place (which was the bulk of that 16 years) or suspensions/injuries removed them from the field. There is talent on the roster, but it ONLY MATTERS if that talent is ON THE FIELD.

  19. Oh PLEASE stop...-It was a BAD throw... Woods doesn't catch up to that ball on a f___ing motorcycle... Sherman was the ONLY player in the vivcinity! -Chucking the ball up without vetting the coverage is something COLLEGE QB's do, not pros....While Tyrod has occasional rhythm with his receivers, it's nowhere NEAR what it should be for an NFL starter....

     

    Well considering the DB assigned to cover Woods made it there to intercept the ball, I would say that had Woods ran the correct route he would have been there. The reason it looked like Woods couldn't get there on a motorcycle as you put it is because Woods was running a different route. Had he ran the wheel route as TT expected, he would have been sprinting to that spot and would have easily been there for throw. Who knows, maybe Sherman still makes the INT, but him and Woods would have both been there.

  20. I gotta give Rex some credit. Just when I thought the Bills had to have Schmidt kick the FG with an unknown holder (who is the backup holder?), Rex says spike the ball to get Carp back on the field. As much as I berate the guy for melting down in critical situations, the spike was a brilliant call in the clutch. I didn't think of it. How many of you did? Well-played Rex Ryan!

     

    I thought it was brilliant and said so in the shout box when it was happening.

     

    Rex is a much better coach than what people give him credit for. The fact he managed to get us to 8-8 last year with all the injuries was impressive, meanwhile playoff and SB contenders like Dallas and Balt combined for less wins than us because of injuries and they both have a deeper and more talented roster than us.

  21. Considering the Pats won the SB in 3 out of 4 years, they are hands down the most recent great team. And the Seahawks recent dominance in the post season and back to back SB's is nothing to sneeze at and were one play away from back to back wins.

     

    You also left out the 98 and 99 Broncos, who were outstanding all around teams. And the team that wont get much love just because of the who the QB was, but the 2001 Baltimore Ravens were pretty nasty too. They had the best Defense in the NFL since the 85 Bears, if not better, a 2000 yard rusher in Jamal Lewis, and arguably the best TE of all time in Shannon Sharp. Dilfer is why that team gets over looked, but people forget how efficient he played that year and how good he was in the playoffs. Not saying they are the greatest ever, but just pointing out how overlooked they get because people are attracted to shiny things which in the NFL is basically passing dominance.

     

    So I wouldn't say Dallas was the last great team by any means.

  22. So how many picks did we give up?

     

     

    Lets just say we used 11 since 11 is my lucky number and you are into making things up that aren't true. So there it is, now people can stop magically inflating Sammys cost as I just stated we used 11 different first round picks on Sammy so people no longer need to make things up now.

  23. Gave away 3 first rounders for Sammy?? If my memory serves we gave our first rounder that year, and a first and 4th the following year and received their first. So really we only "gave away" 1 first rounder

     

    Check the shout box...he claims there was fine print where we traded an additional first round pick that doesnt exist just to be able to discuss a trade with Cleveland. He literally is posting that in the shout box right now. He is clearly trolling, but people start to believe this crap which is why it annoys me so much because it starts to get a life of its own in other threads as there are people on here who will believe this gibberish and keep claiming its true.
